....these new websites that result from a search with Google or other good
search engines, which are nothing more than a page of links for more searches
where, supposedly, one can find the end result for the original search?
Many searches seem to yield these websites in their results and they're a
royal PITA! No matter how I state my search criteria, these stupid websites
keep appearing in the results.

Yeah - I use Yahoo and get the same thing - they are a major PITA!
What I also love are the links to "purchase XYZ" or "buy XYZ" I want
to see somebody buy "subretinal neovascular membrane bleeding"

Then I'm not going crazy. :-) I just can't believe the crap that's coming
up in searches now. Hopefully, there soon be a way to block these, too. I
never look at them, just click them away, but they really are a nuisance.
Those purchase links are even more ludicrous!

What really ticks me off is looking for recipes on Google. Sometimes, not
always, you can type in 'XXXXX Recipe' and it pops up dozens of websites.
Most of those websites are trying to sell you one of the ingredients in the
recipe.

Yep, same deal. Really pisses me off! Googling used to be fun. :-{

Go to Control Panel/Add Remove Programs and look to see if something called
Search Assistant (by WinTools) is installed. Remove it.

Some of the results I get are ingredient-oriented, but usually on the
first page (sometimes second) I'll get the recipe I want or realize I
need to refine the search.

It is not the looking, it is the sifting through the ads that is the
irritant.

Well, checked it all out and this doesn't appear to be the culprit. In
fact, I figured it was time I did some more in-depth checking, so verified
all installed programs, and found nothing suspicious.
FWIW, I routinely run Spybot Search & Destroy with Spobot S&D Resident,
Ad-Aware, WinPatrol, and SpywareBlaster. None of these tools shows a
problem. I also run AVG anti-virus software and have both hardware and
software firewalls.
This is either a total fluke or completely invisible. :-)
Thanks for the suggest, though. It certainly sounded like that could be
it. I'll keep looking, however, because it does seem like a parasite.
Cheers,
wayne

it's not google. you have some adware or screwy browser help objects causing
that. use a cleaner such as adaware and spybot S&D to get rid of them

I don't know if this will make a difference in your Googling, but I
always go from the general to the specific:
"recipes [main entree or name] [ingredient, if needed in the
description]"
I don't have much trouble going straight to a good URL.
